Chapter 473 A different love story

On the vast sea, a huge ship was sailing smoothly.

This is the largest ship in human history. People today still don’t know how fast this ship can travel, and it is even difficult to imagine.

But, it must have unlimited potential.

However, such a big ship and such potential are not very important in the eyes of some people.

They only think about one thing, to go to America, that new country, as soon as possible, and then start a new life.

Xiaoying is one of them, and she is a very beautiful and very unique person.

"Sister Xiaoying, aren't you hungry?"

"..."

"Xiaoying, this food is for you."

"..."

"Let's go out for a walk. We can't stay in the cabin all the time."

"..."

Xiaoying bought a ticket for the third-class cabin. In this class of cabin, the most crowded people are ‘immigrants’.

They seem to come from all over the world and have one goal.

Go to America and start a new life in that country.

Xiaoying is very beautiful, and her appearance is delicate enough, so she has gained the kindness of many people.

These kindnesses are very heart-warming. You know, the third class cabin is really messy and bad.

It's not an exaggeration to say it's dirty and messy, I can only say it's passable.

But there are so many people and there are definitely a lot of problems.

A little girl would definitely run into problems if she went to a place like America alone. It was very dangerous, and she might not be able to eat well or sleep well, and her health would deteriorate.

The key is, she is still so beautiful.

However, when Xiaoying faced all this, she never gave an answer.

She didn't even say anything, just smiled.

So why is this?

Finally, a daredevil who was also in the third class figured it all out.

"Oh, I'm sorry, you can't speak."

"..."

Nod.

Yes, Xiaoying is mute. Although she can feel everyone's kindness, she cannot respond, which makes her uncomfortable, but she still smiles.

Now, the truth finally emerged. It turned out that she could not speak.

So why is she on this ship?

Why would such a girl go to the New World alone?

Soon, the answer to this mystery was revealed.

This time it was not a daredevil, but a Chinese who was a sailor on the ship.

His name is Yalin.

The meeting of two people was a coincidence.

Yalin's job on the ship was that of a pure laborer, delivering coal to the boiler.

One day, he was really tired and went outside to take a breath and bask in the sun.

Suddenly, he saw a beautiful little girl basking in the sun.

Generally speaking, it is indecent for sailors to bask in the sun sometimes.

In this era, some clothes are not yet popular.

For example, underwear.

A French writer once came to England and saw the residential areas where British workers lived. The environment was really poor.

It's okay to be dirty, but the key point is that there is a scene that made the French writer complain after seeing it.

That's clothes.

At that time, British workers hung all kinds of washed clothes in their living areas. Yes, they were just hanging clothes to dry.

But you can also imagine what a mess it was.

The French writer's complaints are indeed acceptable, after all, the scene is impressive.

But what if you think about it carefully?

Why didn’t France have such a scene at that time?

It's simple, because many people in France at that time simply had no extra clothes to replace.

To put it bluntly, they don't dare to wash clothes, so there is no such thing as hanging clothes.

This actually illustrates many problems from the side.

In the early days of capitalism, people's lives did improve, but the extent of the improvement was limited.

When it comes to not being a good person, capitalists have never been a good person, especially Dai Ying.

And what about in the era of this big ship like the Titanic?

Underwear is a luxury item, and crew members, especially workers close to boilers, always sweat a lot because of the heat.

Without underwear, they will suffer from a very painful disease... some are called crotch rot, and some are called hydrangea.

In fact, the hydrangea style is pretty ordinary, not really bad, but this thing can make people itchy to death.

So, what to do?

If you have a way, let’s dry the eggs.

If you really sweat too much, then go out and bask in the sun.

In fact, if it was the navy, the response in this aspect would be better, at least the clothes would be better prepared.

But Yalin is Chinese and he does not have such conditions at all.

It is always the hardest and most tiring job, so it would be nice to have a chance to dry out your eggs.

And such a posture was indeed inelegant, and in the end, he met Xiaoying.

The two met like this, and Yalin said a lot of embarrassing things.

Of course Xiaoying didn't say anything, she just smiled.

Yalin fell in love like this, but the truth waiting for him was so cruel.

Finally, the truth became clear.

It turns out that the reason why Xiaoying went to the New World was to get married.

In short, someone took a fancy to her and bought her as a bride.

The other person is also a Chinese. He came there in the early years. In fact, since the gold rush era, many Chinese have come to the United States.

It's just that after so many years, many Chinese workers are not only in California in the western United States, but many of them have also arrived in big cities like New York.

However, the Chinese in the United States have a huge problem that needs to be solved.

That is to get a wife and have children.

They have to reproduce. Every human being has this need, and so do the Chinese.

As for the Chinese who arrived in the United States in the early days, their living conditions were very difficult and they were indeed very poor.

So, what kind of spouse should you look for?

I'm sorry, even black people don't know how to deal with Chinese people, let alone white people.

Many Chinese workers thought of a way to buy brides from their motherland.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Give money, find a matchmaker, and then send it to the ship.

This was a series of processes at that time. Indeed, it was almost equivalent to buying and selling people. But at that time, many families could not survive, so they could only sell their daughters in this way.

Xiaoying is one of them. Sailor Yalin even understands it very well because he has seen many such situations.

Therefore, he could easily guess it.

However, there is something special about Xiaoying.

She was very beautiful, which allowed her to be sold at a good price, but she was still sold despite being so beautiful, which in itself illustrates a key point.
